I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeves!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Gatefold Flipback Laminated Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, STUNNING flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade FULL Excellent!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
